Kalles Group interview questions

The interview process was reasonable through the first two rounds. The job was primarily focused on supporting a client's third-party risk program. I had a lovely interview with the hiring manager, and a reasonable technical interview. I noticed that the lead interviewer during the technical round mostly spoke about themselves, which was odd to me. I was very much impressed by the organization's stated values and the work experience that the org leadership brings to the table, and developed high expectations for transparency and integrity on the org's part as a result. During the technical interview, I was a bit excited and realized after the fact that I may have come on too strong. Still, the organization decided to fill the role being advertised with existing personnel the day after my technical interview, neglected to communicate this to me and instead scheduled me for a follow-up interview with the client account manager. This person waited 15-20 minutes into our call, which he was 10 minutes late to, to share this highly relevant update with me, This development was framed as a decision to move internal personnel who "fit 2/3rds of the requirements" into the role, which indicates to me that they don't regard the role as especially important to get right, despite this allegedly being one of their oldest clients. Alternatively, the statement could also imply I'm an even worse fit than the person they reassigned. I might also add that the client is an extremely well-known global philanthropic entity. He then proceeded to tell me he wanted to have the call because he really wanted to "help me out" somehow because of my "versatility and qualifications." I take my professional track very seriously, and was candid about the fact that I am interested in starting a business of my own in a different field, which the interviewer then capitalized on by casually suggesting he could "broker a meeting" between myself and a friend of his in the industry I'm interested in starting a business in. I left the interview feeling pathetic and like I was some sort of charity case whose circumstances were pitiable. The lack of transparency and integrity, combined with the condescending attitude of the final interviewer and the apparent lack of consideration for truly measuring whether they were providing the best resource they could to a high-value client, makes this organization a hard pass for me.
